Privacy Policy
The Company uses a variety of physical and electronic security measures to protect our computers and the information stored on them. We treat individual-customer information as confidential, with limited exceptions as described below. The Company diligently attempts to preserve the confidentiality and security of all its business data. We must advise you, however, that no system of safeguards is absolutely secure against unauthorized penetration or misuse, and that we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit via this website.

The Company does not sell lists of its customers, their mail or electronic addresses, or any information that would identify a specific customer. We do not share such information except as may be required by regulatory or law-enforcement agencies, or as necessary to obtain assistance or direct referrals for customers eligible for special programs such as low-income assistance or energy-efficiency improvements.

The Company does not monitor use of our website in a way that identifies specific individuals, unless they have voluntarily supplied identifying information. We do track people's movements through the site in a general, statistical way because it helps us spot malfunctions, correct confusing navigation, identify topics that may need to be expanded or condensed and generally improve our service.

Such information may include electronic and postal addresses, as well as personal, financial or demographic data.

Protecting Children on the Internet
The Company respects parents' concerns about data collection from children, and complies with Federal Trade Commission rules effective April 21, 2000, issued under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. The law and the FTC rules cover websites that directly address or knowingly collect information from children under 13; they require disclosures, parental consent for responding to some types of information requests, and a means to discontinue use of the information supplied by the child. The rules exempt certain limited-information activities such as asking a question by email, entering contests, or requesting a newsletter.

The Company does not attempt to sell any products or services to children. We do not attempt to extract household information from children. If we ask for information beyond simple items like name and address, we will post a notice for parents or guardians, and ask for their permission before we collect the information or make any further use of it. Depending on the nature of the information request, permission may given by printing and mailing a form, by email or other means that can give reasonable assurance that a parent or guardian is supervising the child's activity.
